35. Xu Yijing's complaints
In the afternoon, he went back to work, and I went home with my things. On the way, I recalled Lin Jiangnan's words and asked myself if he was a confession? Then I asked myself, am I refusing?
I gave myself two affirmative answers.
If it were someone else, I would refuse it completely, such as disappearing from his life, but Lin Jiangnan is different, I feel that I have the responsibility and obligation to stay in his life. But how to do it better, there is no consensus.
In the evening, Xu Yijing came back tired, and just when I was hesitating whether to take out today's matter and discuss it with her, she spoke first: "Su Mi, I think it's also nonsense for me to discuss men with you." ”
"Hey! What do you call that? ”
"But I really don't understand it, I thought it was only Cao Hui who was weird, but I found out I was wrong."
I came to my senses and sat cross-legged on the couch, "What's wrong?" ”
"Shao Jie." Xu Yijing smiled bitterly, "He came to me today." ”
When I heard this, I jumped up from the couch and took a bottle of red wine from the cupboard. Xu Yijing looked at me sideways, "Look at your gossip look!" ”
But she didn't refuse my gossip, nor did she refuse red wine. The crystal goblets collided with each other with a crisp sound, opening Xu Yijing's full of complaints. She said that Shao Jie had actually contacted her since Christmas, and that New Year's Day was the second time.
Shao Jie's purpose in coming to Xu Yijing is very simple and clear: to get back together.
Reunion is Xu Yijing's statement, but in fact, what I understand from Xu Yijing's statement is that Shao Jie doesn't think that he and Xu Yijing really broke up, all of this is just Xu Yijing losing her temper.
What a confidence!
"After he was transferred back to Beijing, we were together for two years, and I cleaned up the house, washed the clothes, and cooked the food, although we didn't cook much. I quarreled with him about housework I don't know how many times, I wanted the house to be tidy and clean, he said, 'If you want that, then you can do it, I don't feel like the house is messy'; OK, I take a step back, I clean up the house and hope that he can at least put the used things back in their place, and he said, 'I don't think it's necessary, they are all commonly used things, don't you bother to find them?' ’”
"Doesn't he do any housework?"
"He just waited for me to come and coax me after I finished my housework in anger, apologize to me, and say he was wrong."
"And then you forgive him?"
"yes, I thought I couldn't break up with him for this little thing, maybe every family is like this, there is a division of labor between two people. But then I pondered, what did Shao Jie get? I am the only one to do the housework, I have to think about buying the oil, vinegar, rice and flour laundry detergent, and I also pay the water and electricity bills, what did he do? ”
"Did you tell him this?"
"I said, and then he gave me a card, saying that he would put all the money in the family into that card." Xu Yijing laughed, laughed angrily, and asked me a little excitedly: "You say, do I mean to ask for that money?" Am I short of that money? Didn't I want him to take a snack on the lives of both of us? ”
I sighed twice and sighed whether Shao Jie's brain was caught by the door. What did he think? Xu Yijing's income is not lower than Shao Jie! Besides, after six years of love, in Shao Jie's opinion, will Xu Yijing be someone who cares about the cost of living?
"I couldn't figure out what I was angry about when he didn't give me that card, and that card made me figure out that he was using me as a babysitter." Xu Yijing raised his head and drank the red wine in the cup, and poured himself another half glass, "You say, I don't break up with him for this, why can I break up with him?" Does he have to cheat on domestic violence to be a reason to break up? ”
Xu Yijing said that the day she figured out was a weekend afternoon, she was going to the company to work overtime, hurriedly cleaned up the house, wiped the floor, dried the washed clothes on the balcony, and looked back to see Shao Jie lying on the sofa sleeping soundly. So she suddenly felt that this love and the life in front of her were boring, and she had no hope for this man named Shao Jie, and she wanted nothing more.
This love, which began with worship, finally failed in life.
Xu Yijing and I first met Shao Jie at a debate held by the school, that day Shao Jie was talking eloquently on the stage, his suit was straight, his expression was calm, his logic was clear, his demeanor was flying, his eyebrows, eyes and facial features were not outstanding, but he was handsome. Xu Yijing looked at him intently and whispered to me, "I like him." ”
I joked to her, "Like? Then you chase! ”
Xu Yijing, a beautiful and intelligent doer, has brains and strategies, if she wants to pursue a man, I think, she is basically handy. Shao Jie is naturally no exception, he fell in love with Xu Yijing and confessed.
At that time, Xu Yijing mentioned Shao Jie to me, and her eyes would reveal admiration and admiration. In the winter, when she came back from the playground, her hands and feet were stiff, but she told me with high spirits, 'Shao Jie is playing basketball very well, but he is handsome!' ’; When she came back from the movie theater, she analyzed the plot and characters for me, and then said triumphantly, 'This is all Shao Jie told me, I didn't understand it when I watched it, but I understood it when I listened to him!' ……
That year, Shao Jie went to study in other places, Xu Yijing sent him away strongly, and then called me to cry to me, saying that she missed Shao Jie so much that she couldn't sleep.
It's gone, it's all gone.
Shao Jie at that time and Xu Yijing at that time. It's like me and Yao Feng back then.
"I didn't even notice his shortcomings at the time." Xu Yijing drank the wine and made a very surprised expression, as if she was speechless for herself back then, "It stands to reason that everyone has shortcomings, but I didn't see it, I actually thought I had found a perfect man." ”
"He's hiding his flaws?"
"No, I'm blind! His shortcomings are still there, just like his strengths are still there, he is still talkative, still serious and hardworking. But what does this have to do with me? His eloquence was an abomination when it was used to argue with me about right and wrong. His serious efforts are used in work, and when he comes home, he will be 'tired', but am I not tired? He doesn't watch movies with me anymore, I watch my dramas and he plays his games. He still plays basketball, and then he brought back a bunch of smelly clothes and I had to wash them for him. ”
She raised her glass to touch me, and then she drank, and she drank very, very slowly, but so much that she drank all the half of the glass she had just poured.
"Take it easy." I advised her.
She placed her glass on the table, her cheeks slightly reddened, but not as red as her eyes, though she did not cry.
"He didn't care about my feelings at all, even though he said he loved me." Xu Yijing smiled self-deprecatingly, "How easy it is for him to love me, just talk about it, just give some flowers and gifts, how difficult it is for me to love him." If he endures four years of longing and loneliness, can tidy up his home, can wash and iron his clothes, or can cook me delicious meals, I can say I love him 800 times a day! She snorted, "Say, what's this?" ”
That's right. The word 'I love you' can't burn a calorie when it's said, as if it's important, but it's not just 'just talking'.
"You say......" I shook my glass, "if you talk to him as you did with me, will he change?" I asked Xu Yijing.
"The nature of the country is easy to change, really." Xu Yijing shook his head, "Shao Jie thinks I'm short-tempered, I have reflected on it and want to change it, but when I really encounter something, what should I do." ”
"Then forget it, now that you haven't married and had children, it's better to stop the loss in time."
Xu Yijing patted my leg and said earnestly: "Really, Su Mi, Lin Jiangnan looks good in all aspects now, but you must keep your eyes open, don't let go of any clues that make you feel uncomfortable, don't just stare at his advantages." ”
My internal organs trembled slightly, "Why did you get to Lin Jiangnan again?" ”
"Hey, still hiding?" Xu Yijing smiled mockingly, "Did you spend New Year's Day with him?" You two went out to hang out, didn't you? ”
I felt like I had done something bad and had been exposed, "Who told you!" ”
"Full, full." Xu Yijing poured wine into two wine glasses and smiled, "Did anything happen?" Has there been any substantial progress? She raised an eyebrow, "How's the young man's figure?" ”
"You stinky rascal." I kicked her, "No, you haven't told me yet, how do you know?" ”
"Know what? Are you two together on New Year's Day? Xu Yijing snorted, drank wine and said, "I found the tickets for the two chapters of Tanzhe Temple, this winter, you two are enough to have Yaxing." Then she pointed to the scarf hanging on my hanger and said, "Lin Jiangnan gave it to you, right?" You wouldn't buy this color yourself. ”
I looked at the scarf and didn't speak.
Xu Yijing stared at me with a sip of wine, then put the wine glass down and broke my face, "Su Mi, your reaction is not right." You tell me seriously, what happened to you two, I want to hear in detail. ”
"Don't you want to hear how I outwitted Cheng Liren today?" I asked her.
"I don't want to."
"You just want to hear Lin Jiangnan confess to me, and then I reject him?"
"Yes." Xu Yijing nodded, then sat up on the ground, "Huh?!" Refused?! ”
"Refused." I took a sip of my wine and said it lightly.
"Why!" Xu Yijing poked a finger at my head, "It's been seven years, it's been seven years since you and Yao Feng's affair!" Not done yet? ”
I looked at the scarf again and asked Xu Yijing, "You say, if you find a boyfriend again, will you find someone who can share the housework with you?" Is it looking for someone who is willing to watch movies and travel with you? Looking for someone who is shy to show affection, but will make you a cup of hot tea when it's cold? ”
Xu Yijing thought for a while, "Really? I guess so. ”
"Yes, in short, you know what kind of love you want, what kind of life you want, right, you have summed up some lessons, right?"
"Hmm."
I smiled and shrugged, "So, I don't know what went wrong with Yao Feng and me, I can't summarize anything." For example, I see a person who dies suddenly, and he is usually as healthy as he usually is, without warning. Then I saw how sad and heartbroken the person's parents and friends were. I don't want that to happen, but what can I conclude other than fear death? ”
